Tour Plan

Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir National Park is your first stop after leaving Reykjavik. Massive fissures in the Earth’s surface can be seen as you look across this amazing terrain. Thingvellir National Park is UNESCO’s World Heritage site with a lot of significance in terms of historical importance. Guess what, this site has the world’s oldest existing parliament. There are crystal-clear lakes and volcanic terrains to enjoy here.

Thingvellir National Park

Geysir Geothermal Area

Your next adventure will take you to Geysir, which is located in the Haukadalur valley geothermal area. The Icelandic term geysir means “gush,” and this gushing hot spring is the source of gushers all around the world. Geysir Geothermal Area is a treat for those who always dreamed of witnessing a live hot spring. Located in the Haukadalur Valley, this spot is the oldest known geyser in the world.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss is the next location on the Private Golden Circle tour. Gullfoss (the “Gold Falls”), one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, is supplied by millions of gallons of frozen meltwater from Langjokull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Gullfoss Waterfall originates from Langjökull, which is Iceland’s second-largest glacier. There are multiple viewpoints to enjoy the view of this elegant waterfall. What else could travelers ask for in their tour?

Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss, Iceland, is our next destination. This spectacular waterfall, which is 66 metres high and allows you to walk around it, is a sight to behold. But be careful: you can end yourself drenched. On a clear day, the Westman Islands or Vestmannaeyjar can be seen from here.

Skógafoss Waterfall

Skógafoss Waterfall is our next stop. Observe the massive amounts of water cascading from this waterfall! Skógafoss Waterfall has a width of 25 meters and a height of 60 meters. Enjoy the sound of water cascading down a cliff and, if you’re lucky, rainbows generated by the spray of this natural wonder.

Black sand beach

The black sand beach is our next destination. You may encounter the raw and enticing energy of the North Atlantic and its masterfully sculpted basalt column cliffs in Reynisfjara, or Black Sand Beach. The site is both magnificent and deadly, and it deserves to be handled with a healthy sense of wonder and reverence.

Black sand beaches are a unique and awe-inspiring natural phenomenon found in various destinations around the world, such as Hawaii and Iceland. One particularly well-known black sand beach is Reynisfjara, located on Iceland's striking southern coast. The beach features towering basalt columns, roaring waves, and the distinctive black sand. Visitors can take a walk along the beach or hike up to the Dyrhólaey cliffs for incredible views of the surrounding area. Reynisfjara is a popular tourist destination and offers a mesmerizing experience that shouldn't be missed by any nature enthusiast visiting Iceland.

Vik village

Our next stop is Vik, which, despite its small population of around 320 people, has a lot to offer. You can either eat your lunch in one of the restaurants or walk down to the beach to see the famous Reynisdrangar.

Sea Kayaking

Sea Kayaking

Sea kayaking holidays in the humbling wilderness of Antarcticathe Arctic, and some of the world’s most biodiverse regions, are guaranteed to stir your soul. Paddle between brash ice and icebergs of all shapes and sizes, absorbing the majestic scenery as it unfolds before you. 

In Antarctica, keep your camera on-hand for unforgettable encounters with penguins, seals and whales, and occasionally leopard seals or orcas. In the Arctic, prepare to  paddle under nesting bird colonies, past massive glaciers and around large iceberg. 

Led by experienced guides, you and your small group of like-minded adventurers will paddle between ice floes, brash ice and icebergs of all shapes and sizes.

FAQs

Our guide to paddler ratio is 1:10 and we provide an accompanying safety Zodiac. There are 26 places available in Antarctica and tropical voyages, 20 in temperate regions, South Georgia and all Arctic trips except in Franz Josef Land where the maximum is 16 kayakers.

Kayakers must be 14 or over.

Sea kayaking is offered in place of regular shore excursions. We aim to paddle as often as possible. Depending on the voyage, we generally aim to paddle twice per day.

We will give you a drybag for extra clothing, binoculars and anything that needs to be kept dry. You should also carry a water bottle. We recommend bringing a waterproof camera or phone, or ensuring you have a good quality waterproof case.

If the weather changes during our outing we will head back to the ship and perhaps join a shore excursion. The ship’s captain, expedition leader and kayak guide always maintain close contact to ensure a safe paddling experience. We do not attempt to paddle too far away from the ship. The emphasis is on experiencing the destination rather than travelling long distances.

The kayaks are made with a hard plastic and are easily paddled in swell and conducting shore landings, and through small patches of brash ice. We manoeuvre around the larger ice chunks and floes.

Polar regions

Kayaking in the poles offers a unique wildlife viewing experience. In Antarctica, we have many opportunities to encounter penguins, seals and whales, and occasionally we may even spot leopard seals or orcas. In the Arctic, we’ll paddle under nesting bird colonies, past massive glaciers and around large icebergs, however we maintain a safe distance from polar bears and walruses. Our guides carry rifles and flare guns in the Arctic to ensure your safety against polar bears.

Temperate regions

Kayakers in wild temperate regions will have a unique wildlife experience, with possible encounters with seals and basking sharks. You will have the opportunity to view some of the largest sea bird colonies in the northern hemisphere.

Tropical regions

The superb wildlife-viewing opportunities are endless in the astonishingly biodiverse nature reserves we visit. Kayaks offer a unique opportunity to view marine and land mammals, coral reefs, tropical fish, sea birds and an astonishing range of rainforest birds. We will bring our snorkelling gear with us during our paddles and take advantage of any opportunities to view marine life up close.

In the unlikely event of a capsize, your experienced guide will assist by righting the kayak, stabilising it then pumping it out. Paddlers will re-enter with the guide’s help, or with a support Zodiac. With drysuits and warm clothing underneath you will be comfortable in cold water for up to half an hour. Note that the kayaks have separate compartments with bulkheads, which means they will float after a capsize.

No. Each kayaking place is for one person only. Passengers are unable to share a kayaking place as we customise the kayaks and dry suits for each individual kayaker at the beginning of each voyage.
